We hope you had a great first week of resetting and rebooting your diet.
It takes three weeks to form a new habit; therefore, it is not a total failure if you hit a few snags. You may eat something you did not plan on having. Do not worry! Whenever you eat something you do not intend to, pick up where you left off, starting with your next meal, snack, or beverage.
Many people give up on their New Year diet reset and reboot resolution between January 15 and January 21. Giving up on the resolution only means changing how we eat is a lot harder than it looks at first, but the rewards of a healthy eating pattern are amazing! Here are a few results that COULD happen:
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower blood sugar levels
- Improved digestion
- Help with weight loss or weight maintenance.
- Increased energy
- Improvement in sleeping pattern
Remember, however, that these 21 days are not about perfection. Instead, it is about taking baby steps (if necessary) toward a healthier eating habit. If you are doing well, Bravo! Good Job! Keep it up!
If you are not meeting your personal goals, make sure you are thinking SMART. Remember, thinking SMART means your goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.
Reset your reset and keep on pushing.
